The lovely lady will become a machine of lethal grace with a seething hatred for the shambling deceased in an adaptation of the hit parody book PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, in which writer Seth Grahame-Smith remixed Jane Austen’s literary classic with “bone-crunching zombie action”.
Portman will play heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who now finds her attention divided between the supercilious Mr. Darcy and her own war against the hordes of flesh-munching undead, and frilly dresses get messy with rotting brain chunks.
The Lionsgate movie will be produced by Portman’s production company handsomecharlie, along with Richard Kelly’s Darko Films.
